Hollywood's biggest night of the year is here, and it seems everyone had the same idea: think pink.
There was Gemma Chan's hot pink tent dress and Kacey Musgraves' brilliant tiered one. KiKi Layne looked elegant in a Pepto-Bismol gown, while Sarah Paulson made a case for pink cutouts. As a group, they rewrote the unwritten pop culture sartorial rule: Now, on Sunday nights, we wear pink.
On the flip side, gender norms were blurred with a tuxedo-gown combination courtesy of the one and only Billy Porter, as well as a metallic tuxedo situation from Awkwafina. To round things out, we had a couple of striking silver moments and tributes to both Karl Lagerfeld and Audrey Hepburn. Overall, there was much to be enjoyed. Ahead, our favorites.

Rachel Weisz didn't get the pink memo, and we're okay with that because this red Givenchy Couture number was made for her.
We weren't expecting Lady Gaga to go with black for the big night, but she managed to make this Alexander McQueen dress stand out—with matching leather gloves, a Tiffany yellow diamond last worn by Audrey Hepburn, and hip buttresses—in a way only Gaga can.
Tessa Thompson honored the late Karl Lagerfeld beautifully in black-and-gold Chanel.
KiKi Layne is oh so pretty in baby pink Versace.
